New Crimes. New Holmes. New Watson. New York.

A contemporary day remake of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's legendary consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes on the streets of New York City. A recovering drug addict, Holmes is accompanied by the beautiful and alluring Dr. Joan Watson who is hired by his wealthy father to ensure that he remains sober.

An American police procedural TV series adapted from the Sherlock Holmes Mysteries, Elementary drew early criticism due to the fact that BBC released a similar modern day adaptation, Sherlock in 2010 albeit in modern day London. Elementary has won several Awards and praise form various critics for its fresh take on the Sherlock Holmes legend as well as the actors, Johnny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu for their performances as the sleuthing duo of Holmes and Watson.
